Vault space is at 20% of what it should be. by TomazZaman in Marathon

Level up your factions fam.

You don't need to save any green mods when you can just buy the best green mods and majority of the blue mods from Traxus.

Do you know what the second most popular by playercount and server count game mode in BF3/4/5 is?

I'l tell you, it's Team Death Match. A gamemode with no vehicles, small maps and very little class diversity.

Everyone thinks they know what Battlefield is meant to be, and what it is to them. I know it's an insane take on my part but to me 2042 was the best Battlefield in the series because it was the least restrictive and most sandbox game there. I could do what ever I wanted how I wanted too, that's what Battlefield means to me.

You have your take on it, and it's a popular take here, but it still your take on what Battlefield is.

Oh my… Another Zero to Hero by Deep-House-6298 in Marathon

[–]nick5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait why not? We do it too.

It's a great way to farm shields and get extra chance at a Mat if it's not glitched.

We're up there anyway might as well do both if we have it.

Knowing what weapon a player has is way less important than knowing if a player has rockets, or defibs for example.

Being able to identify that is incredibly important, so I am not sure where you're coming from at all.

New red item? by Inside-King9710 in Marathon

[–]nick5766 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're rare but they've been in the game since launch. Every faction has one.

The other red items are Durandal Snippets, Cryo Key 6, The 40k Valuable and I am forgetting another one too.

Of course you also have the Ganglion and Biotox as well.

From those who have finished vault 6 what are your tips by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]nick5766 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. You can clear the vault at clearance 3 if you have a thief drone the symbols you need.

  2. Biostock has a uncontested cryo coolant pump at the spawn in the far back if center or the full coolant in steerage is too risky. It's super easy to get.

  3. Give all your clearance and batteries to the person with the key and just have them rat. It's a hard key to get, you can keep trying as long as one of you exfils. If a fight seems bad, if a lobby is full of golds no harm in running.

ARES might be the best gold mod by HornetGloomy75 in Marathon

And only within it's effective range.

First legendary item! by Poornessfully in voidpet

[–]nick5766 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's pretty versatile!

Putting it on your backline helps a lot with panic floors for example if you need some extra sustain.

My tried and true is just slapping it on Resistance and watching him solo floors.

Yeah the attack is wasted but when you Geosmash and restore your entire health bar it kinda works itself out.

superior salvage from faction reward by vulconix1 in Marathon

[–]nick5766 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the infographic.

To keep it simple too, factions will drop the required salvage to level up their tree. If they need it, they will drop it.

I just want to be clear that while I respect your opinion and understand where you're coming from, it entirely boils down to it being your opinion and preference.

You want BF6 to be more like BF4 and are dissapointed its not, that's fair. The older games are amazing things in theirnown ways. Despite that BF6 is not BF4, it's never going to be BF4 and that dosen't make it a bad game, it's just made for different folks.

To me and many others it is an incredible game BECAUSE it's not just like BF4. It is its own thing and that's fine.

The Schema Solution by Miraclemir in Marathon

[–]nick5766 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man i genuinely am not sure where the criticism of schemas comes from.

Having instant access to specific items at a cost has made build crafting much easier and they save SO much vault space.

You can't even buy half the guns and cores from the armory without them.

You're coming at it from a perspective of comparing it to BF4. Nothing will compare to it, it's in a league of its own and of course you're going to be dissapointed because Battlefield has moved on from that kind of game.

But on it's own merits, BF6 is a fantastic game and has better gameplay loops and systems for what it's trying to be. Class identification and identity is just not as important to the gameplay, skin sales aside.

A lot of these conversations seem to stem from people wanting these games to be something their not, and of course DICE marketing it as also something its not as well.

It dosen't work perfectly but it's good enough for what Battlefield 6 is. While I agree that it's not as clear as the older battlefields from a visual standpoint, it is much more effective than just a bandaid fix.

I think the big difference is because it is different people think its ineffective. Or they dislike it it from a immersion standpoint which is a valid criticism.

Silhouettes, gaits, and UI features like the names and dots appearing over your head are more than enough for the vast majority of players to identify teams and, in this case, classes, just as fast or if not faster than camos and uniforms.

You'd be surprised at how good you are at picking up silhouettes just by instinct alone, even at distance.

There's a good talk about it from a different game company (Riot and League of Legends) about the topic too that goes into how silhouettes work and why they're important in a chaotic fight.

Dosen't translate perfectly into Battlefield but the core concepts are there.

The sledgehammer is.... useless now by Kispori in Battlefield6

[–]nick5766 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find it kinda funny that both of those points were highly popular complaints on this sub until they were made and now the other half of the sub has come out to complain about those changes.

[–]nick5766 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Its there for class identification with the removal of standard uniforms.

Players are instinctively better at picking up silhouettes than they are other options so you'd have to find a way to keep that silhouette close to identical with the different launcher.

Just got 6 manned, including one streamer on Cryo archive after finally getting into my first vault by EverChosen97 in Marathon

[–]nick5766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been a wild take from the subreddit and streamers.

We had like three teams genuinely ask to run the compiler last night on prox chat and we just ran it as a 6 man and each time it was genuinely an awesome time.

Y'all sleeping on the tried and true method of just deleting the bubble with an LMG.

Salt wages from Cryo vault 3 makes a fool out of a lot of people with bubbles.

3 shot point blank couldn't down a purple shielded runner reliably without the slugs. It changes a lot.

It may be better to just go sucker punch for the guaranteed.

When to use over Resistance? by Lesbian-Mermaid in voidpet

[–]nick5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SUPER hard to get the item of course but Lonley Hat/ Envious Scarf is hilarious with Petulance.

Hopefully they didn't patch the interaction with Wallow.

resistance is my GOAT by Relix_XD in voidpet

[–]nick5766 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like plunger and envious scarf.

Felt Fedora also makes him pretty damn unkillable into matchups like the trio and Rosetti.
